FLYING CRANK TRIGGER

FOR A LONG TIME, RACERS HAVE KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO DO TO AN ENGINE TO IMPROVE ITS PERFORMANCE IS TO STABILIZE THE IGNITION TIMING. THE MSD FLYING MAGNET CRANK TRIGGER SYSTEM DOES EXACTLY THAT BY USING FOUR MAGNETS IMBEDDED IN AN ALUMINUM WHEEL. ALTHOUGH SIMILAR IN APPEARANCE TO OTHER CRANK TRIGGERS, THIS NEW VERSION WORKS ON A DIFFERENT PRINCIPLE. MOST CRANK TRIGGERS HAVE A PICKUP, TRIGGERING THE IGNITION. THE FLYING MAGNET CRANK TRIGGER USES FOUR MAGNETS SECURED IN AN ALUMINUM WHEEL THAT PASS BY A STATIONARY NON-MAGNETIC PICKUP TO CAUSE THE IGNITION TO TRIGGER.

THIS "FLYING MAGNET" DESIGN PRODUCES ACCURATE TRIGGER SIGNALS. IT CANNOT BE FALSE TRIGGERED BY BOLTS OR BUMPS ON THE TRIGGER WHEEL BECAUSE ONLY THE MAGNETS WILL CREATE THE NECESSARY TRIGGER SIGNAL. THE FLYING MAGNET CRANK TRIGGER INCLUDES A TWO-PIECE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE NON-MAGNETIC PICKUP THAT WILL WORK ON EITHER THE PASSENGER SIDE OR DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE CNC MACHINED ALUMINUM BRACKET SECURELY HOLDS THE PICKUP IN PLACE AND IS SLOTTED TO PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF TIMING ADJUSTMENT. SPACERS ARE INCLUDED SO YOU CAN MOUNT THE BRACKET ON ENGINES WITH STANDARD MOTOR MOUNTS OR ENGINES WITH A 1/4" MOTOR PLATE. THE FLYING MAGNET CRANK TRIGGER SYSTEM WILL FIT STOCK AND AFTERMARKET DAMPERS AND INCLUDES ALL PIECES NECESSARY FOR A COMPLETE INSTALLATION. THESE SYSTEMS WILL TRIGGER MSD 6, 7, 8, AND 10 SERIES IGNITIONS AND ALL MSD TIMING ACCESSORIES.
